Professor Saul Becker invited five young carers to meet a delegation of eleven members of the Tokyo Government at Manchester Metropolitan University.

Graham, Claire and Alan all spoke about the services offered by Cheshire Young Carers and answered questions about how the service had responded to the Covid-19 Pandemic.

The young carers were then invited to speak about their own caring responsibilities, the impact the Covid-19 Pandemic had on their caring roles and how Cheshire Young Carers had supported them. This was all done through an interpreter and of course they rose to the challenge admirably. Everyone enjoyed afternoon tea and then heard about how the Tokyo Government were developing services to support young carers.

Magic Moment!
